Carelman, (Jacques).
Petit Supplement a l'Encyclopedie de Diderot & d'Alembert...
Paris; Chez Ballard, editeur: 1971. Master of the Absurd and Silly, artist Jacques Carelman delights in creating objects and "inventions" that are logical, but supremely over the top -like his radio controlled iron... In this inventive romp he takes a look at some fairly mundane 20th century objects and situations, but he does it through the eyes, and in the graphic style of, the creators of the famous 18th century "Encyclopedie", Diderot and d'Alembert. If you ever wondered how Diderot's meticulous, step-by-step drawings would deal with a French 20th century street riot, a striptease show, or a window washer, well... here is your chance to find out. Hardcover. 10"x14.5", 161 pages, more or less; b/w illustrations; light soil.
